The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Ehhh...drugs skeer me. I just wish I could go back to normal. Maybe need a new pillow or something.

It's bad when I'm practically nodding off at work by midday, though.

Just once I'd like to get a decent night's sleep. I don't know what's wrong with me lately.

You need some of 2J's cholesterol medicine. ;o)

You don't ~feel~ the sun here like you do in Florida

It's all relative... give you a few years to acclimate, and you'll be squinting and wilting from the yellow face just like the rest of us pasty northerners :~)

Pictures of the girls' first boat ride.

Weeeeeee!

Aly was so excited and happy on this first trip. Yesterday, she was terrified for some reason. *shrugs*

Becky just loved it.

And, of course, my handsome skipper. :-D

The most beautiful place in the world.

Yeah - I'm feeling quite regular, thank you :~)

I was sorry to miss yesterday, but the car ride seemed a terrifying prospect :~)

Great! So glad there were pictures taken :~)

The one thing that is always good about here is, even though the sun can be pretty intense on the water, the water keeps it cool.

Did the girls play in the water or are they still a little too Florida for 58 degree water?

Sure! Aly is braver about it than Becky is, but here's proof that they got in. :-D

Without getting too specific, that would not have been the right tool for the job :~\

Yikes. Guess that "free" steak dinner had a price to it anyway. :-/

Only up to my knees. :-D

I'd get a bucket of water and set it next to me on the beach though. And when my skin started to feel prickly from the sun, I'd douse my arms and legs with water to cool off.

In my in-box when I returned...

SUPERMARKET SURROUNDSOUND

The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

I don't buy toilet paper there any more.

I hate to blame that steak dinner, because it was soooooo good. And ecurbh was fine. It was just me. Lucky thing, we don't have enough bathrooms to have the same bug :~)

ROTFL! The scent of fresh hay is kindof a lie, if they're trying to smell like life at a dairy :~)
